The Lombardy Table

Lombardia brings northern comfort to the table: patient cooking, silky rice and the golden warmth of saffron. Inspired by Milanese kitchens and evenings beside the lakes, this box pairs a gently stirred risotto with the bright citrus character of Tassoni Cedrata.

Recipe: Risotto allo zafferano

1. For 2–3 people, use about 240g rice and keep approximately 1 litre of stock warm. Infuse a small pinch of saffron in a little warm stock.
2. Soften half a finely chopped onion in olive oil or butter. Add the rice and stir for 1–2 minutes.
3. Add warm stock a ladle at a time, stirring and adding more as it is absorbed. Add the saffron infusion during cooking.
4. When the rice is tender with a little bite, remove from the heat and rest briefly. Finish with butter and grated cheese if desired. Serve Cedrata chilled.

Extra ingredients to have at home (not included): Onion, stock, olive oil or butter, salt and optional grated cheese.
